Control Features cont.
•
When the controlling temperature sensor is set to 
select the Load LW Temp, the setpoint control will 
operate strictly in a proportional mode with offsets and 
differentials used to determine the appropriate capacity 
to use. In this mode, the following parameters are used:
• Stage Delay (30)
• Gain (2)
• PIDY1 Ref (7.2)
• PID Y1 Diff (7)
• PID Y2RefShift (5)
• PID Y2 Diff (6)
•
The default values were used in the test lab and 
seem to be a reasonably good beginning point for 
parameter settings. 
Compressor Lead-Lag Operation
In the Maint menu of the MUI, Lead –Lag operation may be 
enabled or disabled. When disabled, a Y1 call will always be 
a request for compressor 1 and a Y2 call will be a request for 
compressor 2. When Lead-Lag is enabled, the operation is 
as follows:
•
If only a single Y call is introduced (either Y1 or Y2), 
then one compressor will start and it will be the 
compressor that has been Off the longest. When 
that call is removed, the compressor will stop—if the 
compressor minimum run time has been satisfied. 
•
If the single Y call is re-introduced, then the ‘other’ 
compressor will start. In this manner, if single 
compressor operation is used, then each time a call is 
given, the compressors will alternate.
•
If a Y call is existing and a compressor is running, 
then adding a second Y call will bring on the second 
compressor. When one of the Y calls is dropped and 
the other remains, then the compressor that was first 
started will be dropped. In this manner, if the chiller 
is alternating between one and two compressor 
operation, both compressors will be cycled.
•
If no Y calls exist and a sudden and simultaneous 
application of both Y1 and Y2 occur, then fist the 
‘longest off’ compressor will start. After 150 seconds, 
the second compressor will start.
